Does one need a big bank balance to retire?
Guruji : No, I don.t think so. Couple from Uganda, billionaires, many factories, but had to leave one fine morning with just a suitcase. Sold hotdogs on streets. They said to Guruji that that day we believed in god, in a bigger force. So it is not the bank balance, it is the state of your mind
Question : Pundits (Hindu priests) say for liberation of your ancestors, you have to do pujas and they charge hefty sums.
Guruji : No that is not a right thing to do. But you see, then no profession can be justified that way. Doctor.s prosperity is based on your illnesses. Lawyer.s prosperity is based on crime. Teacher.s prosperity is based on ignorance. Different businesses thrive because of lack and poverty. Restaurant business runs because there is dearth of good food. Whatever you do, when you are honest and you are working with your conscience, then it would be good for you.
